A major drawback of this study is that it is not randomised. I think at minimum subjects should have been randomised to Dundee, Battenburg,...
The giveaway is that she refers to the delayed response as if it was clear evidence that the phase 2 study could have been seen to be a fluke....
I don't claim to know what illness Cuban staff had, but any debate on topic needs to be informed by new 'whole brain' understanding of functional...
I don't follow why this 'test' which is a ratio of two meaningful tests with different implications, should be of any extra value.
This case supports that establishing the accurate diagnosis and early symptom management are crucial for rehabilitation in CFS. Cognitive...
Yes, and I think that is a very good point.
The issue of peer reviewers not challenging the uncritical mention of LP is important though. It seems to show that biomedical science exists...

There were all sorts of controversies that occasionally I got to hear of. Particularly in the alternative medicine area - which is what this is....
Indeed. But so far the stuff on SMILE has not as fr as I can see reached visibility. That is un the hands of the editors. But unless the editors...
I just don't think it is necessarily fair to think they would have an obvious way of finding out. We are bombarded by information but we are used...
Yes but a clinical scientist does not use Google to find out about research. They go to pubmed. I quite agree that people should see for...
I don't think that is realistic. Who accesses 'the general press' these days? I read one paper online and David's name has never come up (the...
But how would they know of the existence of David's blog unless a patient had brought it to their attention? Patients who are aware of the blog...
What Dr Hall seems to have missed is that the Haukeland group rituximab programme is about the first piece of high quality clinical science in ME...
I guess that the 'controversy' for SMILE has been aired in social media rather than in published literature. I can imagine that clinicians and...
When considering what to provide NICE as testimony n the problems of clinical trails in ME/CFS I did not go in to the Lightning process...
